    Though that last sentence was not honest. Of course I would be happy with a diagnosis of just gaining weight. It is something I think is easy to handle. Something genuinely serious isn't and in many regards there is nothing you can do. I hope the former and being a very vain man, I will work like a bastard to get into shape.

    Well Mr Dorian Grey exercise certainly keeps you fit and young. Keep it up, and the exercise.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Here's one...I had 3 24oz cans of beer in my refrigerator. I opened one, starting checking emails, watching my soap opera, and so on. I thought, 'damn, that beer went down easy' and opened another.
    I watched tv, played with the dog, went to the bathroom. Thought, 'that beer went down easy as well.' So I opened another.
    Then I made some lunch, ate it, went out and got the mail, and thought 'that beer went down easy as well', so I went and got another.
    Now, walking around the house, I find that I have a full brand new beer, and one very nearly finished beer, and two nearly full beers.

    I survived my CT scan! Mind you, I was in panic mode as I felt very uncomfortable with a needle hanging out my arm whilst I went through the Hiroshima machine. I could feel a sweat on my brow and really thought I was on the verge of passing out. I kept trying to think of things to distract my mind, but nothing profound was happening and I was thinking it would be awful to die and have my last thought being about GTA5. But alas, I didn't die as statistically was never going to happen beyond my fretting mind, and so I drove home swearing that I would get into shape. Today I rowed 2000 kilometres, did 6 rounds of boxing and did 3 minutes of stomach plank exercises. It was really hard work and the boxing in particular wasn't great. My legs just felt really heavy and maybe rowing followed by boxing is not the best thing as rowing is quite a strenuous thing

    Yeah, I'm getting old now and have to get in shape. At nearly 6'3 and 83kg, I am not particularly heavy and clearly some of my weight gain has gone into my arms and shoulders, which my wife says are bigger, but I've never really carried weight in the belly area, so convinced myself that the portents were ominous. Hopefully with a clear bill of health, I can be in fighting shape in a couple of months. I wouldn't mind buying a running machine, but I seem to be banned from buying new equipment. 'Run outside' says my wife, but I don't really like going outside.
